How Do You Get Rid Of Round Worm In Humans And Dogs?

0

Roundworm is a catch-all phrase for an intestinal, esophageal, colon, heart or lung parasite that can live quite comfortably in dogs and humans. Only a veterinarian or doctor can diagnose roundworm for sure, but if you or your dog are passing small (3 to 5 inch long) white worms, roundworm is probably present. Dogs usually get roundworm from eating infected feces; roundworm eggs are passed on to puppies through their mother’s milk. Lack of protective care in cleaning up after a dog with roundworm can transmit the parasite to the owner, usually via dirt that contains the roundworm eggs. Confirm the diagnosis. If you suspect you and/or your dog has roundworm, your veterinarian and your doctor will want a stool sample to confirm. Take it with you to the appointment. Take/give the prescribed medication. Your vet will probably prescribe something like Fenbendazole or Pyrantel. Your doctor may prescribe Parasitin. Make sure you and your dog take all medication as directed. Clean up after you
